Will Food Pipe Transplant Treat Cancer Permanently?
I am Indian by origin age 51 and flying between India and Japan last 30 years, spending half and half time,
2010. I was told that I had food pipe cancer and that was operated on 5th Dec.2010 through endoscopy in National cancer Hospital in Tokyo and I was told that it has been completely removed but since last few I weeks I was feeling bit uneasy and 4 days back I examined again in India and Doctor told me that it looks like it’s just before malignancy so it might happen again, I want to know is there any food pipe transplant technology is there? And if so how long patent can survive after that
ll;/ya

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have had oesophagus carcinoma. Recurrence is possible even after complete removal of tumor. We can not transplant oesophagus. We can just go for resection and anastomosis. And prognosis is poor even after surgery.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
